The second team lack of power by grizzlies

 Bad Rex was back at his worst Monday night. Not that the Chicago Bears needed any reminders of what happens when Grossman goes awry  even in the preseason. After struggling for most of Grossmans 26 plays, the Bears backups bailed him out and eventually overcame the miscues to beat the Indianapolis Colts 27-24 in what had been billed as a Super Bowl rematch. I havent lost any (confidence), Grossman said freeshipping . I hope the Chicago fans and everyone else hasnt lost any. Im a pretty optimistic guy. Just because I throw an interception in the preseason doesnt take away from a good camp. It was more than an interception in Grossmans case, but it wasnt all bad news for the Bears. They scored on back-to-back series in the second quarter to take a 17-7 lead, then scored the first 10 points of the second half to break a 17-17 tie. But this game wasnt merely about a win or a loss. If Grossman intended to wipe away the inconsistency, mistakes and blown chances that have defined his NFL career all he did Monday night was give his critics fodder. A week after completing 8 of 10 passes in Houston, a glimpse of what Chicago hoped was a progression, Grossman regressed against Indy. He fumbled three times, twice on snaps, threw an interception deep in Chicago territory and was sacked once. Even his one good moment, a 1-yard touchdown run, came with an unusual twist: He carried twice for minus-1 yard and a TD on the drive. Afterward, Grossman blamed the fumbled snaps on everything from the crowd noise to sweaty hands. He didnt even try to explain the other fumble, which Robert Mathis swatted away as he sacked Grossman who finished 9-of-11 for 59 yards and with a sub-par passer rating of 51.1. Bears coach Lovie Smith wasnt looking for excuses. Quarterback-center exchanges, we need to be beyond that, Smith said. But well get past that.  We havent had a problem with that, and we wont in the future. In contrast, Cheap NFL Jerseys Super Bowl MVP Peyton Manning looked like his usually efficient self  albeit briefly. He finished 5-of-8 for 97 yards and led the Colts to one touchdown in 16 plays, numbers that would have been better if not for a couple of drops. Colts running back Joseph Addai, the new feature back, carried seven times for 24 yards and scored on a 4-yard touchdown run that looked like his winning score against New England in last seasons AFC championship game. We saw some good things but not enough good things, Colts coach Tony Dungy said. Obviously we still have some work to do. The game did rekindle a few championship memories. Danieal Manning set up Chicagos first score, a 32-yard field goal, with a 72-yard kickoff return that reminded the Colts of Devin Hesters kickoff return for a TD on the opening play of the Super Bowl. Hester struck on the next kick, returning Hunter Smiths punt 50 yards before getting tripped up at the Colts 24. Two plays after Grossman fumbled the snap on the 1, he hung on long enough on the quarterback keeper to score to make it 10-7. We like the way our special teams play, Smith said. The Colts found themselves in another jam when T.J. Rushing fumbled the ensuing kickoff as he went down at the Indy 24. Mike Hass recovered for the Bears, and four plays later, Brian Griese hooked up with Bernard Berrian on a nifty 9-yard TD pass that gave Chicago a 17-7 lead. Then it started to look more like a preseason game, at least in terms of the names. With Manning and Co. on the bench, Jim Sorgi  who didnt play in the Super Bowl  led the Colts on a 69-yard drive, finding Aaron Moorehead for a 9-yard TD pass to make it 17-14. Sorgi managed the clock perfectly on the last series of the half, too, getting the Colts in position for a 36-yard field goal from Adam Vinatieri as time expired. Jim made some good throws in the second quarter to get us back in the game, Dungy said. That last drive in the second quarter was great to see. Chicago, however, quickly took control in the second half. Adrian Peterson scored on a 1-yard run to make it 24-17 early in the third quarter, and Nick Novak made a 35-yard field goal midway through the third quarter to give the Bears a 27-17 lead. That was all Chicago needed against the Colts backups. Indy has lost 11 of 12 preseason games, including both this season. nfl jerseys shop But its not the result people in Chicago will be talking about, and Grossman knew it. I promise you it wont be a problem, Grossman said. It wont happen again. Notes Cedric Benson, Chicagos new starting running back, ran 10 times for 24 yards.  Sorgi finished 11-of-18 for 107 yards. Griese was 10-of-17 for 131 yards and a touchdown.  Bears receiver Brandon Rideau left the game in the third quarter with an ankle injury and didnt return.
